With daisy-like blooms that last for weeks, these prolific wildflowers bring nonstop color to the late-summer garden.

Growing TIps:
-If you want to attract birds to your garden, leave a few flower heads on your plants and let them to go to seed. You’ll also be rewarded by new seedlings sprouting up in the garden the following spring.
-Because Rudbeckia are zealous self-seeders, you may end up with more plants than you bargained for. If your plot becomes overcrowded, remove or transplant the extras.
-Black-eyed Susans don’t like water lingering on their foliage, which can result in powdery mildew. Be sure to maintain adequate spacing between plants and water at soil level rather than watering from above.
-Like most wildflowers, black-eyed Susans are remarkably carefree, drought-tolerant, and disease resistant.
